Type	Tactical bomber
Faction	USSR

The Tupolev Tu-16 (Allied reporting name: Badger) bomber was the primary long range multi-role aircraft of the USSR during Great World War II. It had a swept-back wing design and had two turbojet engines providing it with superior speed as well as a large cargohold, large enough to carry an entire paratrooper unit or a compliment of coventional and parachute bombs. However, it's armor was rather weak against anti-aircraft fire.

After the war, the Tu-16 was gradually phased out of use, replaced by newer long-range bomber craft
